Yeah just like in elementary school... when boys pull pigtails on girls to express their admiration.... It doesnt work for adults :) His love is not deep enough and not serious enough for an adult
he doesnt love her enough to actually act on his love. So it is just wishful thinking, not love

At the end of... ? ep 1? in the theater scene, JP voice over indicates he ends up with YR but after a long detour LOL
i think from the start JP was actually more drawn to YR but she was too childish to attact his attention as a date..... JP liked the pretty face and a more grown up and sexier JH, and also JH stiid up for him in the boxing ring, she was more "adult" and openly caring for him.
Back then YR was just a whineyvoice insecure little girl..... Nothing attractive/sexy about her. And all the care she did, she was hiding.... or even failed to do - like she ran away with his medicines instead of giving them to him ...
JH already felt like a woman ready to play - she loved Aema etc But she was too... unpredictable, lying, keeping quiet, playing games.... not the right woman for JP

BUT HE DOESNT KNOW IT BC HE WANTS THAT SEXY CHICK :)
Their relationship can end only in heartbreak bc JH needs someone stable like YR's brother, someone who is totally grounded and calm and there for her.
JH can stab ppl impulsively, she can take a guy on a date and then dump him brutally, etc SHE IS TOO UNSTABLE AND TOO DANGEROUS

I love how YR grew up and took care of so many things in the world and helped ppl.... it is nice that at the end she became a pretty adult woman and very confident and capable...
JP is a typical male, he did not register his deep feelings for YR while she was so childish back then, he was drawn to a more womanly, more adult, ready to play, pretty and sexy JH.... but .... unsuitable for him. She is too unstable...
But I still dont like that jump from head-over-heals for pretty / sexy / wild JH to ... being so nice to YR? What happened? it seems like JP enjoyed attention and care from YR for 7 years and just used her and took her for granted...

i think back then JP was actually more drawn to YR but she was too childish to attact his attention as a date..... JP liked the pretty face and a more grown up and sexier JH. Back then YR was just a little girl Nothing attractive about her. JH already felt like a woman ready to play - she loved Aema etc Also she stood up for JP in the boxing ring and YR was too imature to show her care for him

I think this drama is at least 9 I would say 9.5
It is a real masterpiece in many ways

ML is an entitled guy and he likes pretty and sexy and interesting, and then he feels entitled to grab it. So..... he is a typical male. Let's see if he grows up

Yeah but calling her Ugly is not helping... he just never respected her enough...

I didnt know it posted 3 times, I never intended that. I was wondering why you are making fun of me and then much later I saw that it did post 3 times. I have no idea why. Sorry about that.

This particular actor was acting the Imugi while he was in Imugi body and he had the reputation of being nasty and he DID do many nasty things, like turn rice fields dead. OK? The fact that later he got hold of a human body and experienced love and a deep transformation and also his good deeds from the past came to light is totally irrelevant to the discussion RIGHT NOW bc it was a totally different actor and a totally different period of Imugi's inner life.

. Right now we are talking about this particular actor being good in roles that require some villain traits, from gray shady all the way to full blown villain. OK? you got it? I really dislike nitpicking for the sake of just disagreeing or being a smart alek. I like when you can hear what I said and what I did not say and what I meant, i.e. when you really listen to what I had to say.

IN fact, this particular actor made the Imugi in Imugi body character really stand out with his villainness mixed with mystery and hidden good deeds and vulnerability. He acted SUPER NASTY, he tormented and tortured FL, and kept recruting her to take over her body, he was very calcualted, greedy and selfish, and he was good to her just to save her for himself - and he tried to possess her because he respected her for purity - but he only wanted to have it for his own benefit. HE IS A VERY COMPLEX CHARACTER, WITH LOTS OF VILLAIN TRAITS bc he is so bitter and desperate and hopeless and that makes him grumpy and selfish and greedy and crude.
THIS ACTOR NAILED IT. 100000%. He made that Imugi character totally unforgettable.

So kiddo, before you get into nitty gritty of it - no, the Imugi is NOT all good. ANd he is not all bad either. But he was behaving really nasty and acting as a real jerk. real nasty dude. AND THIS ACTOR IS GREAT AT SUCH GRAY SHADY VILLANOUS FEELING ROLES

Like in this kdrama. He is not all bad but he is not all good, he is somewhere in the middle towards ... more villain side. In fact, he IS a villain, regardless of his "righteous motives" for what he is doing. He is a very confused and immature person. Just like the Imugi was - confused, wounded, and doing bad things.

To sell drugs and destroy people is evil. Just like Imugi destroying rice fields and turning fall into spring, all rice fields dead, people going hungry, then all the floods etc all the misfortunes he brough. IT IS EVIL TO DO THAT, to hurt others intentionally to hurt and destroy people even their lives.

No matter how "good" the person is underneath it, their actions are just ... EVIL.
Our Imugi was lucky that he experienced healing transformation and started inentionally developing and strenghetning and using his good side, and he permanently changed his ways, and redeemed himself and started a new life.

Another good example is the King from Bon Apettit Your Majesty - he redemeed himself after killing so many people and doing that cheonrong or however you spell it thing LOL and at the end decided to quit the throne to redeem his ways....

THERE ARE LOTS EXAMPLES OF PPL DOING BAD THINGS AND THEN TURNING AROUND

EVERYONE IS GOOD AND BAD AT THE SAME TIME SO THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHICH SIDE GIVES AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT - AND WHICH SIDE WINS MOST CONSISTENTLY

Like in this drama - that drug dealer helper was so kind and fixed the fawcett to FL etc. He CAN be so kind and good and yet he goes around killing people. He is rather nasty

Or Vincenzo - a monster who enjoyed killing and torturing people who found it amusing to also help weak people accomplish justice and decided to keep it as a side hobby - is he good or bad?

Or Tempest - the hot ML who is an admiration of both men and women for "how he is" is actually a paid assassin, killing people left and right, without a blink. Is that commandable to "be" like that... ? What in him makes him such a cold killer yet ppl think he is such a good person?

SO PLEASE GET COMFORTABLE WITH THE GRAY AREA

In any case, my point is, this particular actor is FANTASTIC in shady villanous roles.
Someone else used the words - languid, etc. It is all his forte in acting.

omg it is tiring to talk to someone who is so literal.
So you asked for it. There is my answer about the Imugi and the shady villainous zone where good and bad mix and the lines get blurry, but what decides who you are is WHAT YOU DO.

There are Koreans of all kinds of origins... He has some other influence, I think
Like I am from XYZ but I dont look it, I look Italian or Ukrainian, those are the genes in me that show off the most , I have met ppl who look exactly like me

So which genes show in him, esp in his eyes?

I love ep 5 It is so warm and lovely and humane ... and comical... the scene when they all meet at the police station, or the clueless JP in the rain pagoda with JR .... omg how can he be so blind..... LOL typical male blind...

"break up with Jae Pil instead of TALKING TO YOUR BESTIE. Like, this type of sacrifices are actually one of the most selfish acts. Coz at the end of the day it's not about not wanting to hurt the other person, but it's about not making yourself feel uncomfortable." YES INDEED

I want to know what kind of genetic pool are the eyes of the young detective. He is super handsome and has such beautiful eyes. Yeah he is officially Korean but he has some other genes influence. His eyes look ... Tibetan? Thai? I cannot figure it out... Anyone knows?

Yes she will never be free of his debts if she stays with him. That leech keeps causing problems and sucking her dry. So he is FIRED. Best if he quits himself - either dying or running away as a cheater. She will be free of all future debts and problems he *will* cause. She can handle the current debt without him and start a new life.
Honestly, she is not bad with her business partner, they could ship - well not quite since daughter has a crush on him too
But she can start enjoying her life without that leech of "husband"

Sure, I never said I liked his character :) He is still mostly trashy. BUT he has some good qualities. And he is improving. He is slooooowly maturing :) So it is too early to write him off :)
Also, he is a very capable businessman and construction type work person

FL voice is super awful. She whispers like a robot. She is dead inside. Creepy. Her husband should run away with his office colleague

ML was the loser boyfriend in On Her Wedding Day, and nasty Imugi in Haunted Palace. He is well suited for gray area all the way to full villains. His creeping around her daughter is super creepy

his roles are like that - the loser boyfriend in On her Wedding Day, Imugi in Haunted Palace, etc. He is best as a gray area villain

i think he should either die fast or leave with the friend fast, and leave his wife finally free of that leech who is sucking her dry - her money, her self esteem, etc. SHe needs to cut him out of her life asap i.e. stop the bleeding before he bleeds her to death. Cut the losses and start a brand new life. Perhaps with a younger guy :) Understood?

her husband and her friend have a lot better chemistry, for real :)
